The portal of Streaming has ordered two seasons of an animated comedy from actor Ramy Youssef, the source exclusively learned.
The series is part of the new first-look deal that Youssef and his production banner Cairo Cowboy signed with the streamer.
Youssef runs Cairo Cowboy with Andy Campagna, the former senior vice president of television for Sam Esmail's Esmail Corp.
“Ramy has only scratched the surface of his incredible creative gifts,” said Vernon Sanders, head of global television for Amazon. “With perfectly measured and heartfelt comedic directness, his work permeates the culture, and we are so lucky to work with him and his team. »
"Family comedies have long tackled some of society's most uncomfortable and difficult subjects, but thanks to Ramy's animation and creative voice acting, we're thrilled to bring this one to audiences." »
The animated series will explore the experiences of an American Muslim family who must learn to code-switch as they navigate the early 2000s: a time of fear, war, and the rapid expansion of the boy band industrial complex.
Youssef co-created the series with Pam Brady. Both are executive producers with Mona Chalabi, a journalist and illustrator whose work has been featured in publications and will co-produce.
"Amazon Studios is committed to doing a show with me that I could never have dreamed of doing, let alone explore, for two seasons," Youssef said.
“Anchored by Pam Brady and Mona Chalabi, we've brought together a special group of experienced and newbie writers to do something that I hope will be a true contribution to the animated space and television. I'm excited and grateful to explore the possibility of creating more bizarre stuff with Amazon Studios through this partnership inchallah. »
Youssef is best known for creating and starring in the critically acclaimed series “Ramy”. He won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Comedy Series for the show's first season, earning Emmy nominations in the same category as well as Best Directing for a Comedy Series.
Two seasons of the show have aired so far, with Hulu renewing it for a third season in July 2020.
His other acting credits include 'Mr. Robot' and 'See daddy run'.
The television company released its stand-up special, “Ramy Youssef: Feelings,” in 2019. He is currently working with his “Ramy” co-star Mohammed “Mo” Amer on a comedy series Netflix scripted film in which Amer will star.
